By default, on standalone switches, port notation is used.

By default, on stacks/Extended Edge Switching, slot:port notation is used.

Usage Guidelines

You can configure a standalone system as a slotted system with this command, which allows for commands which had ‘slot‘ arguments to be visible and take in a valid slot number of ‘1‘, along with any port arguments specified in ‘slot‘:‘port‘ notation. In turn, any command output would specify ‘slot‘ information and ports displayed in ‘slot‘:‘port‘ or slot/port notation.

This command requires a configuration save and reboot to take effect.

To view the port notation status, use the show management command.

Example

The following example changes a standalone switch to have slot:port notation:

# configure system ports notation slot:port
This command will take effect after the next reboot.
